"I would breastfeed him, but he doesn't really latch on right... and it makes it painful and discomfortable for me." I explained as I looked to the refrigerator. Aiden looked to Vahn and all hunger fell away, he just started making grabby hands at him, before he started bawling. It hurt my feelings, but I wasn't going to keep him from his daddy since he loved him so much. "Looks like someone wants you..." I said softly.

"Eh, I never blamed you." Jamie teased as she got up, and just laid on the floor. "it's comfortable down here."

I smiled to Aiden as I took him from Mila, "Could you warm up the milk please?" I asked her, I had always expected raising Aiden to be a team effort, hopefully getting help from Jamie and Avalon as well.

Avalon smiled and joined Jamie on the floor, "I'ts a lot better than the balcony." Avalon said, his head turned towards her.

Aiden smiled, though he was still hungry. He played with the collar of Vahn's shirt with his little fingers. I nodded as I walked over to get the milk, though I had to make sure it hadn't expired. I couldn't let Aiden drink that. I felt so useless; not even my own baby liked me. I warmed up the milk just a bit, then tested it on my wrist to make sure it wasn't too hot or too cold. "Don't let him suck in the air bubbles at the top, it'll make him sick." I said softly as I walked over to him with the bottle in my hand.

"At least now you've got a bed... well a pallet on the floor in my room." Jamie grinned, "Which should be better than sleeping on the ground.

I nodded lightly as I walked closer to them, though that might not be as easy as it sounded. "Ok, so.. I feed him and you hold him, deal." I held the bottle to him, then the rubbery teat to his lips, of course it didn't take him but a few seconds before he started sucking on it. Aiden was so cute when he was eating; he had a true baby face when he was sucking on his bottle.

"Exactly. Now, just think how many times I had slept out there with you!" Jamie said as she stared up at the ceiling. "It's so nice here, quiet... other than Aiden."

I smiled as Aiden drank from his bottle, reaching up with his stubby little hands to try and grasp it himself. "There, now he's enjoying both of our company." I said, really thinking through that in my head before actually saying it.

"He's enjoying spending time with you, not me." I said softly as I pulled the bottle away when he finished it. "Goodness! You drank the whole thing!" I said, gasping to pretend that I was surprised, it just made me smile that he started giggling at my gasp. However, he quickly grew tired and I pulled him into my arms.

"Well, yeah... But there's always something we can do to make everyone's lives more interesting." Jamie lightly winked, "I'm good at causing drama, and Mila's reactions are better than the soap operas."

"You're in the picture to Mila." I told her. I let Mila take Aiden, I was glad to let her spend time with him, the oven beeped and I pulled the cake out of the oven. "Remember Jamie and Avalon, it has to cool before we eat it." I told them, Well, that and there was something baked to the bottom of the cake, but I wasn't going to tell Mila. "So, shall we see how Aiden likes his new crib?" I asked Mila.

(No fair, you're lucky! I'm doing my best to skip ahead and graduate a couple years early or something, but it's lots of work I'm not sure I want to go ahead and put in, because right out of high school I'm going to medical school and that I am not ready for. And... Really?! I love it there. My mom lived there with her ex-husband, as well as Bisbee,Sierra Vista and Fort Huachuca(They moved around alot with Dan's job.). Visited a couple years back! I hope you have fun! <3. Just courious, do you live out of the states? )

I glanced to him and smiled slightly, "Only a blurred image." I teased as I rocked Aiden in my arms to send him into a sweet, peaceful sleep. I hummed softly to him as I walked over to a chair around the kitchen table and sat down with Aiden wrapped up in my arms, and laid against my chest. "You're so handsome." I whispered as I saw him drift off. "Shh, not too loud, Aiden's asleep." I said softly as I got up to go put him in his crib. I laid Aiden down onto the soft mattress before I turned and walked back out, leaving the door open so I could hear him crying when he did. I rested my hands near the scar on my stomach, then walked back over to Vahn, "Need help? I don't know how to do much, but decorating cakes are definitely easier than cooking them.."

Jamie giggled covering her face with her hands, "You're so right! I'm sure I can still get her aggravated, it's just who she is. She's got very little tolerance for some things."

(No, there is a map if you click on 'Who's Online' though, it says you live in Tennessee.)

I smiled to Mila, "Oh sure, I'd love to have you help." The timer beeped and I checked the cake with a toothpick, "Okay, it's done." i said as I pulled it out, the top was only one color, it was the bottom that had writing in it, I grabbed a knife and cut the top of the cake off so it could lay flat on that side, I flipped the cake over, "There, you want to try some of the cake?" I asked Mila, offering the entire top slice to her.

Avalon did his best not to laugh too loudly from what Mila said, "I'll be Vahn has some of those things to." He whispered to Jamie.

(Oh, ok. I've never clicked on that thingy before, I just thought it was there for- I dunno. Pst, then it's very wrong. I live in Mississippi, right in between Hattiesburg and Gulfport.... Weird. Very, very weird. It also says I live in the middle of freaking nowhere, in a bunch of trees. )

"I'm not that hungry." I teased, but nodded, "Alright, but... we haven't decorated it." I said softly as I glanced to his eyes, lightly swaying my body back and forth while I stood there shifting my weight from left to right. I looked back every so often to make sure that Aiden was alright, just because I worried about him all the time and now was worse, because he was only two days old.

Jamie laughed lightly, shaking her head, "Nah. I don't know, all I know is that she loves him." She said softly, before she shook her head once more. "I love messing with them, but I guess now's not the time, huh?"

I looked down, "I don't know what to say..." I really didn't, though the part about that I wanted to say yes suddenly was pushed back to my mind. "Vahn, I feel like you just did this to make me feel bad."

Mila, I did all this to make you happy, that was what I was trying to do. I would never try to hurt you." I told her, plus I felt like I had to make up for all those times I had, but we were together now, I just wanted us to be happy.

I looked to my hands, "I want to say yes... But..." I trailed off as I looked back up at him, trying to find the right words, "Baby, I... love you, but I'm scare we'll fall apart, like we have so many times." And it was a huge fear, only that way I couldn't just walk away like before.

I stepped closer to him, tilting my head up to give him a long, lingering, passionate kiss. "I still want to marry you though," I whispered softly, brushing my hand against his chest. At any rate, he made my life a bit easier, happier, and definitely added more romance into it. "Vahn, I love you. Even if we fall apart, you will always hold a special place in my heart."
